jeffeossotools you didn't know you needed
1: endoscope - currently
endoscope 32.29
when you need to look in/around/under/behind - i have this one, and i use it WAY more than i'd ever expect -- hi-rez display, clear, easy to see -- 2 down sides
1: the cable is STIFF
2: the minimum focal is about 2cm - which can be annoying --
in the last week, i used it to repair a project headlamp on my suv, as the adjust had slipped out, and i was able to see the problem, adjust and refit, and save on a $259 headlamp assembly -- also was able to look into the cylinders of my old gas generator and backup lawn mower, to make certain there wasn't rust of obstruction
2: 1/4" compact impact - this and a flat of drivers is an entire tool kit-- no, you won't use it for a diesel engine teardown, but most automotive, household/lawnmower/atv/ikea builds, it's the cat's pajamas --
my wife got us "invested" into the ryobi battery (it's really the battery that you are buying into) clan - and this brushless 1/4" impact has worked out far better than I would ever have thought
https://a.co/d/gHGKtKxi am certain that {your favorite battery color} tool maker makes a like tool
oh, and this rack of bits feels like carrying around half a toolbox for quick repairs
https://a.co/d/ePyPTURanyway, just some fun tool dodads over the last couple months

sambarman338Does a bore scope give the same utility?
I bought one for $40A at a gunshow but have never used it at all, at all.

jeffeossoit might - depends on the screen/display quality and resolution, i'd guess -- since i am a big bore guy, the 8mm cam on this one could be used as a bore scope in many of my toys
